How was your 2014? Thanks to our great users, we had a strong one here at Webs, and we’re excited to continue to grow and improve in 2015!

The turn of the year is a good time to reflect on how you run your business and make any needed adjustments. In that spirit, we’ve put together a list of 5 Easy Rules you can follow in 2015 to set your business on a great path for growth in the New Year.

1. Keep a to-do list that actually gets doneTrello is a quick, easy, and visual way to create tasks and track their progress to completion.

It’s also simple to add other people or other employees to tasks and get notifications when tasks have been stagnant for a certain period of time so you know what to follow up on.

So get rid of that risk by automating your accounting with a solution like Freshbooks, a cloud accounting service that saves its customers an average of 2 days each month.

Freshbooks offers a 30-day free trial (no credit card needed), so you can see if it makes sense for your business.

3. Hire help – it’s cheaper than you thinkIt’s easy to get distracted as a small business owner. Minor issues constantly come up and it may make sense for you to outsource them so you can stay focused on the things that only you are able to do for your business.

4. Take note…of everythingHow many times in 2014 did you have a great idea that you simply forgot to follow up on? Well with Evernote, you can write down ideas and notes, collect articles and photos, and find these documents whenever you need them.

Better yet, Evernote syncs across all of your devices, so wherever inspiration strikes, you’ll be ready!

5. Manage your time efficientlyHow much time do you think you lost in 2014 to inefficiency? Whether you were waiting on someone else to arrive, hanging around for a late delivery, or just spacing out a little, those lost hours mean lost dollars for your business.
